I'm guessing that the lobes are thrown into a large tub of moving polishing stones to remove sharp edges like you can see on the DMM video on making dragon cams.
How they come out would depend on how aggressively hey we're polished.

Whoah, had a tough week at work Saz? I don't reckon rightarmbad's response was that snarky.

To answer your question, having square or round edges on the lobes makes no difference at all to how the cam will handle. My cynical side suspects that the BD marketing department decided that the market prefers the "slinky smooth look" over the "russian beefy look" :)

In order to understand the correct situation in which to use the word affect or effect, the first thing one must do is have a clear understanding of what each word means. According to yourDictionary.com, the word Affect means:

To have an influence on or cause a change in: e.g. Inflation affects the buying power of the dollar.

As well as the ugly use of effect in place of affect my other pet hate is using "disinterested" in place of "uninterested". Yes yes yes I know a dictionary now says its the same but that's only cos dumb fuchs persisted in using it in the wrong situation. Now a beautiful word is corrupted.

That sounds pretty gay to me.

Back on topic. Realsaz, did you know that even if the cam lobes had no milling grooves they would still function as well as designed? In other words, that feature is largely cosmetic.

Negative what?
You totally mised the point I was picking up on, which was as Estuardo wrote.>but that's only cos dumb fuchs persisted in using it in the wrong situation. Now a beautiful word is corrupted.

kwieranl summed it up recently.>Irony

Now you are corrupting the meaning of negative?
